LLM in tax without a JD

UF, and probably most all schools will list a J.D. as a basic requirement to their LLM program.Most schools will also make exceptions to those basic requirements under acceptable circumstances.Getting an LLM without a JD is a feasible idea, if you're a tax manager with 15 years experience looking to get promoted to Director.It's pretty common knowledge in a Big Four practice office what an LLM is, and nobody wants/needs a JD.The OP was just graduating with their MACC so getting an LLM without a JD is probably a terrible idea since they're decades away from the position that would need it.A masters in tax would be a much better option since it will correlate directly with what their job will entail.

Out of curiosity I did a quick Google search to determine if the ABA even regulates LLM's, but came up with varying results does anyone know if the ABA regulates LLM's?

I think the ABA only accredits JD programs, "the first degree in law" as they say. As far as LL.M programs, it seems to be left up to the individual school to determine the requirements, standards, etc.

I suppose a school certainly could accept a non-JD if they wanted. Anything to keep that tuition rolling in. I'd be curious as to how a non-lawyer perceives LL.M level legal studies? I've never studied tax law at that level, but I assume that a foundation in civil procedure, evidence, and con law would be helpful to really flesh out the meaning of the statutes? Then again, maybe LL.M programs are different from JD studies and don't necessarily require the broader foundation.

I imagine a tax professional interested in an LLM would have encountered statutes etc in their career and be able to understand a Tax Law course. I took one tax course in law school and I had no idea what was going on so a tax professional might be more prepared than someone with a J.D and now tax experience.
